But what about the plan of a tuition tax credit up to $X for the educational expenses at the institution of your choice (even home schooling expenses)?

I use to think that would be ok. but I have come to the conclusion that it would be best to get govt out of education completely. If parents doesn't want to educate their kids that's fine, but I honestly think that no education is better than what is being taught in the public schools.

To the people who say “I CAN’T homeschool” -

then just pull them out an let them play video games all day.

Having zero education is better than having a NEGATIVE education.

Some parents attempt to “afterschool” and deprogram their kids in an attempt to make up for government school deficiencies and toxicity.

Deprogramming and afterschooling is really a **LOT** more work that just homeschooling from the beginning.

This is an excellent point. If the government even let you keep your own school tax money if you were homeschooling, the next step would be to justify more government intrusion into the home. It would be similar to what Hillsdale College experienced before they stopped accepting all government student aid. I’ll feel better now about paying my giant property tax bill for our local crime-ridden mush-head schools that I will never send my kids too. I will imagine it’s like paying the mafia to keep them away from my kids!
